That’s what the sign said. On the restaurant’s wall. Behind my mom’s head. During our visit to North Carolina. It made me so happy; I was doing something for the first time: visiting North Carolina and eating in that very restaurant!I love visiting new places because it forces me out of my comfort zone—and always provides a welcome surge of excitement, creativity and ideas. (At home, it’s too easy to order the same meal in the same restaurant in the same town!) New experiences are why I’m looking forward to attending HOW Design Live/CFBC next week. Although it’s not my first time attending the conference, every year feels brand new. And it will be my first time exploring Boston!

Will I see you there?

Here’s to doing somethin’ new,
